for King County Council
“I’m running for re-election because I believe deeply that local government can make life better for the people we serve.
My public service has been dedicated to delivering results in transportation, housing, public safety, environmental protection, parks and trails, and access to arts & culture; and I’ve seen firsthand that when we focus on outcomes, work together, and stay accountable to the people we serve, real progress is possible.
That’s the leadership I’ll continue to bring to King County District 6.”
